Reviews

Fantastic

"Bought as a gift for my 4 year old. Had two hours to build it between bed time and it getting dark! I managed the main frame by myself. Got help for the second half. Overall pretty easy! Make sure you measure the poles as they all look the same, I made the mistake of putting the wrong lengths on and having to re do a few!! 4 year old loves it but my 2. 5 year old loves it even more!! Brilliant climbing frame, hours of fun already had (5 days in) and I think it’ll last them several years"

— Esther B. (5/5)

2. 5yr old enjoys it

"Perfect for adventurous toddler. Bought for 2. 5yr granddaughter and she is able to climb and slide independently. I like the fact we will be able to add other products to the frame. This sets it apart from a similar but cheaper model. I can see we will get use out of this for a few years. The instructions to assemble the frame were ok. A good couple of hours required & don't tighten the screws too early. ."

We’re so pleased with the

"We’re so pleased with the climbing frame we ordered from TP Toys for our son’s 4th birthday. The delivery was fast and free, which was a great start, and everything arrived in perfect condition. The instructions were clear and it was surprisingly easy to assemble. The quality is amazing — really sturdy, safe, and built to last. Our son absolutely loves it, and it’s been a huge hit with all his friends too. It’s already provided hours of fun and outdoor play. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase and would highly recommend TP Toys to anyone looking for high-quality outdoor play equipment."

Great climbing frame

"We got the climbing frame and monkey bars for a 7 and 5 year old. It has been great, they play on it every day. Took about 3 hours for 2 people to put together. Read the instructions as it's easy to miss out key elements and then you need to undo previous parts. Well made and sturdy. Would recommend."

— Christine M. (5/5)

The aliens have landed in the garden!!

"The aliens have landed in the garden!! Will the grandchildren be excited. No doubt they will! A safe hide out for them to play in this spring, summer and autumn. As the nights grow darker towards the end of the year the den will be magically transformed with lights and soft blankets. A big thank you. My only regret was not buying the monkey bar frame to go with it! I keep checking to see if there are any offers for this as on the day I ordered it I didn't think carefully and the cost of getting it was not within my budget. Fingers 🤞"

— Theresa F. (5/5)

Great Product with easy to follow instructions!!

"Great product with easy to follow instructions and all the different parts were labelled clearly and effectively for assembly. It took myself and my son a couple of hours to put together but worth the time. The only thing I would suggest is that if you are fitting the ground anchors into artificial grass, to try and bang them into the ground first lining them up to the holes in the frame and then finish attaching them to the frame. My grandson will absolutely love this and I know that it will last for many years, as we have bought products from TP in the past that have lasted a very long time. Great product, great quality."
